Final tour of Fox Theatre before restoration

POMONA, CA — This past weekend, the Pomona Fox opened its doors to the public one last time for a tour of the theatre before its upcoming renovation. The theatre should be ready by next year.

They lined up early, cameras – and memories – in hand. The Fox Theater opened its battered doors on Saturday afternoon for a sneak peek, a chance to give the historic landmark one last look before work begins to restore it to its former glory.

Except for the art-deco ceiling, the gilt is mostly gone. So is some of the plaster. Caution tape is everywhere, and so is graffiti from the Fox’s late, not-so-great rave days.
